i bought a used nintendo switch and they had lost this grip and i wanted it since my siblings are more used to using controllers and it helped them out!
Hands down one of my favorite controllers ever used on a game system. Fits in my hands just how I like it and great for gaming using the dock on the Nintendo Switch OLED!
War nach zwei Monaten defekt, wurde aber vom Verkäufer ohne Diskussion ersetzt. Service top.
Am Anfang war alles gut. Sieht aus wie Original. Hlt auch gut. Jetzt fliegt der linke Controller einfach raus. Damit nicht benutzbar.
It’s the same basic shape as the OEM. The back of the handles has a grippy layer instead of smooth plastic which I like.

Perfetto
Impugnatura per joycon che a detta di mio figlio risulta migliore dell’originale grazie alla parte inferiore dell’impugnatura realizzata in materiale con maggiore grip ed una dimensione leggermente superiore.
Funziona perfettamente.
Très agréable en main et finition au top
vraiment trs jolie et la prise en main est trs agrable, meilleure que le gripp initial
je recommande vivement !

Overall design is pretty much identical to the stock grip but it has a slightly nicer texture for the back side. Product delivered as advertised.

I think I've been using this instead of the original. No noticible difference other than perhaps some texture difference. Sometimes it takes a moment to connect at the beginning, but the original will do that too. No issues during game play.

Très bie
Fait le travail
Je n ai mis que 4/5 car je pensai que c tait un produit Nintendo et non une marque compatible. Mais sinon fonction au top
Genial! Ya puede jugar con su amigo con controles similares
Queda muy bien. No tiene la etiqueta impresa como el original, pero todo lo dems es igual

Pour l’anniversaire de ma petite fille, elle est tre contente.
It makes it feel more like a controller then a Wii stick.

Nota 10
Mais confortvel que o original! Eu fiquei meio inseguro porque adoro os itens originais com os logos e tal, mas me atendeu perfeitamente. Acabei deixando o que veio com o console para a minha mina, a mo dela menor, deu tudo certo. A pegada maior e a parte traseira emborrachada do mais segurana pra quem quer jogar mais tempo. Podem comprar sem medo.
Super impressed with the quality and presentation of this comfort grip. The color pairs up super well with my skyward sword joycons!

Better comfort than the original grip, worse tolerances. My left joycon creaks when I say, click the thumbstick, where on the original both are in absolutely rock solid and aside from the worse in-hand design are just built far better. Would still buy again if I lose my original grip again.

Migliore dell'originale
Ergonomia perfetta, robusto e con materiali piacevolissimi al tatto. Preso come aggiuntivo per il secondo set di joycon ormai diventato il supporto principale per giocare in modalit dock. Il migliore in assoluto sul mercato!!!
Un peu du que ce ne soit pas des officiels comme je le pensais mais c’est de ma faute, j’ai mal vrifi. Le rail est en plastique et non en mtal comme sur les originaux. En soit, les joycons tiennent mais vu qu’ils ne sont pas vraiment fixs dedans, lors de parties un peu trop stressantes de mario kart, un joycon peut occasionnellement se faire la malle de son rail…
I have only one complaint. The center of the grip sits a little taller than the official nintendo version, and makes it difficult to reach the release button when removing the joycons from the grip. This is a major inconvenience as you have to remove the joycons regularly to charge them. If the contours were a little more considerate, or the grip had a charging port, it would be a perfect 5 stars!
In fact, I like the feel of this controller BETTER than the nintendo official version!!!
This is not an official Nintendo joy con grip but it is just as good.
It’s really comfortable in the hands when playing and you can grip it well too.
My kids use this and have no issues using it at all. My youngest is 5 years old and due to the design of this it’s easy for her to remove and install the joy cons into it.
Great value product.
Excelleent quality
I purchased this item instead of an original! I was a bit worried it wouldn’t be as good but it is perfect, our son prefers it to the one that came with his console!
Simple but effective
A very simple design but very effective, comfortable to use, the padding on the rear is nice too and the holes to let the joycons shine light through work well.
Better Than Nintendo
With a slightly different ergonomic feel to it (grip hold sections) and premium rubberised grip (which doesn’t come on the standard Nintendo one) it’s a no brainer.
Always battle my 6 year old for this one
Better Than The Original! ☆☆☆☆☆
Has a very premium feel with a rubber like feel to the back of the grip! My partner loves it! Would highly recomend to anyone, especially the animal crossing fans! Works pefect just like the original one from the box! 5 stars from us
The cutest grip for my Switch controllers!
A perfect accessory for Animal Crossing lovers! I love mine and use it all the time, so I bought two more as Christmas presents for my sister and a friend. It makes a lovely gift. So cute and feels nice to hold. I love it!
Does the job 👌🏾 3rd party licensed accessory but works fine
Does the job and reasonable price, it’s not directly from Nintendo but seemed to be licensed and approved by Nintendo and works fine. Does not have the official Nintendo switch logo/print on the front of the computer controller but otherwise quite similar.
Great produc
Very comfortable! Shame the joy con grip that comes with the switch is not available as a stand alone product but this is a great alternative. Has rubber grips which are slightly more comfortable too
Good price
Great price, nice quality and works perfectly with switch controllers. Bought two.
Perfect replaceme
This is as good as the Nintendo version, well impressed
My Daughter loves this
We brought a switch at Christmas, and some extra controllers. The smaller was to hold the switch controls were not keen on and this are fab for an easier way to play, it was a present for my daughters birthday and she loved it.. both kids can play together now no fighting over who gets the big controlle
Pikatastic!
A very cool and comfy Pikachu joy-con controller for your Joy-Cons 😀
Super cute grip alternative
I really like the design. The shape is slightly wider than the original grip that comes with the Switch and it also has a rubberized backing.
The sliders where the controllers attach is plastic rather than metal so it doesn’t click as firmly but I have had no problems with this so far, while not as firm it’s still not loose.
The plastic is lower quality than the original too, but overall I prefer this design for its looks and comfort.
Great for Animal Crossing fans
Super cute to play animal crossing on and the grip is super comfy to hold
Fine
My daughter loves using this , comfortable grip. nice animal crossing theme
What's not to like
Perfect. Works well and the back had more of a grip texture so all good
Definitely recommend!
Love it. Literally use it everyday. I find it much easier to use this than the handheld version of the switch. It’s comfortable, perfectly sized for me, love the design and colour. If they made a version of this that could be charged, I’d love that instead of having to remove the joycons but that’s just being picky! Definitely recommend! I think I’ll be getting another one once I have another set of Joycons too.
Brill
Does the job works perfect. Basically the same as the official nintendo one.
I wish this came in more colours.
Does what it says on the tin! It holds the joy cons. It’s not as comfortable as the pro controller but when I’m travelling I don’t want to lug several controllers! It won’t charge the joycons but if you put them back on the console and charge up overnight its not an issue. Very handy.
Perfect for Joy Cons
Works perfectly with Nintendo JoyCons, comfortable to hold and at a great price.
Really impressed
More comfortable to hold than the original, because of the slightly different shape grip on the back, and it’s really cute. Definitely worth buying if you’re in need of another or want a spare.
Adorable and comfy.
This is a lot more comfortable to use than the standard one you get with the switch. The pattern is adorable and fits in with the colours of my controllers a lot better than the black. My only issue is the release buttons are a little more awkward to press.
Amazing quality!
Absolutely adore this! Looks amazing with my Animal Crossing joy-cons which is why I wanted it! My only complaint is that its a bit bulkier than the regular joy-con holder, so it doesn’t fit into my carry case, but I can work around that! Amazing quality and I recommend it! Easier on the hands than the regular joy-con holder!
Great for Pokémon fans
We have a second set of Joy-Cons, so having a second grip made sense. How could I say ‘no’ to Pikachu then? The grip has a nice rubberised feel on its underside. I find the shape of the grip at the top interferes a little with the ZL and ZR buttons, or at least confused my fingers, but I’m the only one in the family who finds that.
Does exactly what it's supposed to.
It’s not the same joy con grip that comes packed in with your console, but it’s not too far off from it. It’s sturdy and durable and a bit more comfy than the one that comes packed in. But it is officially licensed by Nintendo (but made by Power A). The only major difference here being that the rail your joy cons slide into are plastic, as opposed to metal in the joy con grip that comes packed with the console, but it has no impact on gameplay. Durability might be a concern, but given the price, I wouldn’t worry too much. You can buy this with confidence, no issues here at all.
Perfect!
I purchased this as Nintendo only supply one with a new Switch.
This works just like the original. Holds the the controllers perfectly. Will update after a few more weeks.
Very nice controller grip
Exactly what I needed, controller grip for 2 joy cons (not included). Actually a very nice feel to the grip, nicer than the standard Nintendo one that comes with some consoles. Also looks great with Pikachu, perfect to play Pokmo
Does the job
To be perfectly clear, this is a piece of plastic with no electronics in it what-so-ever.
The “Lights” on the front are light-housed through from the joycons with reflective plastic.
That being said, if all you need is a way to better grip your joycons, it does that perfectly.
Nothing special, doesn’t have to be.
Worth the money
This is slightly larger than the grip that is included with the switch and also feels nicer to holder. One minor issue that I’ve found is that the release button on the joy cons are not easy to use and makes them difficult to remove.
I'd recommend buying this at cheap rate
I enjoyed this product. Much handier and its a necessity to be honest when using joy con controllers. Only reason for 4 stars is that it doesn’t say “Nintendo Switch” on the front like the original one. I know its very minor but overall great price and quick delivery.
Just as described
Great item, just as described. Very well made and good quality
Works as intended
Not much else to say… it works, it is confortable to hold
Bargai
Much nicer than the one that came with the switch, has a soft grip and feela much more comfortable.
Rubberised grip on this = better than the one that comes with your switch!
Really good product and actually better than the one that comes with your Switch! The reason for that is that the grip on the controller has some sort of rubberised texture which helps when gaming for long periods.
Spot on!
More or less the same as one we got with switch!
Solid (and cheaper) alternative to the offical grip
This feels of very similar quality to the official Nintendo grip that came with the Switch; it’s pretty solid and the Joy-Cons fit perfectly. The red is a bit of an acquired taste, but for the price I’m more than happy.
Better than the original
Really good, especially for the price. Prefer this one to the original Nintendo product.
A must buy
Well worth buying, the original that came with the console is too small for my 8 year old.
Better than the one included by Nintendo
Great product and feels better on hand than the one provided with the switch
Nice and comfortable game play
Makes playing games much easier as we mostly play connected to the TV, and growing up I’d always use similar types of control pads so it’s more comfortable this way.
Good for the money
Son is well pleased with this. He’s 13 and they fit his hands perfectly. Seems sturdy and well built.
Essential for multiplaye
A bit pricey but works well- an essential addition to the Switch if you want to use multi-player.
Works
Works well, haven’t had any problems. It’s a bit more wide than the official switch grip controller, but my husband actually likes it better because his hands are larger.
Very good, recommend.
Very nice in the hand, good rubber grip to it which feels much better than other products, only one slight nit-picking thing making it not 5 star, and it’s just the joycons have a bit of resistance sliding on. Brilliant product, very good for the price, would definitely recommend!
5 stars!
Perfect and a great price. I prefer this one to the one I got with my switch. It’s much more comfortable to hold and is slightly bigger.
Just like the real thing, with added benefit of rubber grip!
Works very similarly to the official grip from Nintendo. Added rubber grips on the back help with immersive gameplay. One downside is that the buttons to release the joy-cons are slightly harder to press, however it does mean that the Joy-cons sit firmly in place within the grip, there is little chance they would be able to be removed. Overall, excluding the rubber grip, there is little visual difference or feel between this and the official Nintendo version and provides the exact same experience for a lower price. Would highly recommend.
A must have
Really happy with this product , so much easier to play games and really comfortable to hold , games like dark souls are so much better using this controlle
Good quality controller grip
This product is not the exact same as the grip you get with the switch, but I think it’s possibly better. the shape is better and it has rubber surface on the rear. Other people have complained that the shape gets in the way of the rear triggers on the joy cons but I don’t see any issue, there’s plenty of clearance for the triggers and it’s comfortable to hold when not requiring the triggers. If anything I would say the shape gets in the way of the joy con release buttons, but not to the extend that it’s difficult to remove them.
My joycons fit into this controller perfectly and sit nicely.
Make a portable controller grip
This did feel nice, chunkier than the original Switch grip (I prefer the original).
However, I only wanted the middle piece so I removed the grips using a screwdriver. This makes the middle piece great as a travel grip that takes up very little room!
More comfortable than the original. BUT...
For someone with bigger than average hands, this is a much better fit for me. In all honesty, this grip is probably the closest you can get to the feel of the Pro controller. The rubber padding at the bottom of the grip is also pretty nice. However, I advise you to be careful when you insert and remove the joycons from this grip as they lack the rubber padding on the edges where the joycons attach. Carelessness can result in some scuffs on the joycon, other than that, it’s a great little comfort grip and I recommend it.
Extra controlle
It’s so much easier having one of these each, it’s nice to have a real feeling controller in your hands rather than sharing a piece of one. Fits comfortably in the hand
Better and cheaper alternative
This makes such a difference to your joycon controllers. While the official one is okay, this is so much more comfortable and as long as you are comfortable playing games with the Joycons, this is a cheaper alternative to buying a rediculously priced pro controller. Only small gripe is that one joycon slides down very easily, the other joycon requires a but of a push
Very good , although it didn’t have the Nintendo logo imprint on the front like the original handheld we got with the switch so not sure If this is made by Nintendo ?
Better feel than the original.
Works well and feel much better than the original supplied with the Nintendo Switch. And much better value than any others out there.
Great value
Perfect little pad, dare i say better than the original as it’s rubber like coated instead of smooth plastic so easier to hold and not as sweaty. For the price it’s perfect, not genuine Nintendo but built under licence so almost an exact copy
Useful Addition to Switch
Bought for my son who finds the Switch controllers a little uncomfortable. This seems to be helping.
Perfect for two to fou
Perfect for having another two joy cons. Keep one in the dock to charge and one with you to play (goes well with the grey ones)
Comfortable and good quality... makes Switch gaming nice and easy
Makes a great comfortable controller for the Switch games that require you to use both bits of the controller. It does what it should…. holding your joy cons exactly how you would want them… and it just becomes an integrated part of gaming.
If you use the joy cons for gaming, and are looking for something to do this job… go for this one… it does what it needs to.
Different, not worse.
Interestingly, Nintendo appear to be licensing out their peripherals to third parties to fulfil. The official charging stand is from Hori, this comfort grip is from PowerA.
I paid 9 for this and you shouldn’t pay more either, so be dubious of high prices and head to the high street if someone is attempting to ask for anything like 20.
It is different to the grip included with the Switch itself. It is ever so slightly wider and heavier. There is no branding on the central plastic bit. The grips themselves are more textured. The handles, rather than tapering towards the triggers, feature a tangible lip. Ergonomically, it is pretty similar, however you may find that lip something that you have to get used to. Plus it also obscures the detach buttons ever so slightly.
All in all, it does the job and you can’t really complain at its sub 10 pricing. It would be nice to be able to buy an absolute replica of the packed in version you get with the console though.
I actually find this controller more comfortable to use than the Nintendo version.
I actually find this controller more comfortable to use than the Nintendo version. The rubberised grips prevents sweaty hands from slipping and the controller is slightly longer making it better for bigger hands.
Works like a charm. I find it more comfortable than the one you get with the switch, thanks to the “gripping coating”. In the attached picture, the one you get with the Switch at the top, and this one at the bottom. The joy-cons are NOT included, you need to buy them separately.
Not as nice and clean looking as the official Switch grip
Not as nice and clean looking as the official Switch grip,but it does look nice, good fit which means it works very well.
I mistakenly thought it was the official grip I was ordering, but i’m happy to keep and use as it does the job.
It looks more like a red-orange
The color of this grip is a little lighter than the original Nintendo Red. It looks more like a red-orange. But it grips well. All in all a good product and a fair price.
I love the grips on the back, and the actual product feels sturdy. There is however a block on the back that gets in the way of your fingers as it’s not flush with the joy cons like an official adapter. (See images)
Comfy and looks good
I bought the red one as it was a little bit cheaper than the black/others but it’s super comfy to play with and Zelda using this is much better than holding the joy cons in either hand.
After much deliberation, as ideally I’d have liked the same grip as came with the Switch, I decided to go with this one. I’m pleased to say that I am very happy with it. The rubbery handles make the unit feel more secure to hold. Apart from that the only real difference is that the cut-out for the button you press to release the joy-con is very slightly smaller, making it a tiny bit more awkward to press.
Only reservation I have is that the runners where you slide the joy-cons into it are made of plastic so wonder if they may wear quicker over time. At the moment they slide in very smoothly so I don’t think it’ll be an issue.
I plumped for the black unit, simply because for some reason it’s cheaper! Would have been nice to have a red one but what’s the point?
Five Stars
Great!! Seems bigger than the original and the handle have more grip!!
Brilliant additio
Fantastic quality. If you’re thinking this feels the same as the comfort grip you get with the switch, this one is better. The grips are sculpted to feel a lot like the Dualshock 4 controller, so it’s a bit more comfortable than usual.
Compared to the default Joycon grip, this product makes several compromises and several improvements on the original design.
Cons:
>Plastic feels cheaper than the regular grip
>Lights on the face are dimmer and slightly misted.
>The rails that the joycons slide into are plastic not metal, making the sliding action less smooth and the click into place less satisfying.
>It feels like the shape of the grip makes it slightly harder to rest your fingers on the ZL and ZR buttons due to the angle of the joycons, your fingers want to slide off.
Pros:
>Rubberised texture on the back of the handles makes them easier to hold.
>Ever so slightly wider and more ergonomic shape makes the grip nicer to hold than the regular grip.
>Excellent price point compared to the alternative of buying a Charging grip from Nintendo.
If you need a second grip for your joycon controllers then don’t hesitate to pull the trigger on buying this product, however if you’re looking for a better grip for your personal joycons, then perhaps the difference between this and the regular grip isn’t quite worth buying another grip for.
The previous reviewer got confused thinking this was a product by Nintendo, but don’t let that put you off as the Joy-Con Comfort Grip is a officially licensed Switch product by Power A. Get the cons out the way first, not as nice looking plastic as the official Joy-Con grip that comes included with the Switch. Also the rails that the Joy-Cons slide into are plastic and not metal like the official Joy-Con grip.
Now on to the pros, the back of the handles have a different shape to them than the official Nintendo Joy-Con grip. It’s alot more comfortable to rest your fingers on, and the back of the handles also have a rubberised grip unlike the slippy plastic of the official Nintendo Joy-Con grip. Definitely worth the low price, has made long Switch gaming sessions more easy on my hands.
I’ve included some comparison pictures so you will be able to see what i mean by the different shape at the back of the handles. My Power A Comfort Grip has the grey Joy-Cons and my Nintendo grip has the neon red Joy-Cons.
